Whetting appetites from dawn until dusk with prowess of pot and pan, culinarians provide more than simple sustenance. Armed with a cornucopia of ingredients from across the realm, and versed in methods from the far corners of Hydaelyn, these master chefs help adventurers maintain their strength on the battlefield, bringing truth to the age-old adage that the road to victory truly does run through one’s stomach.
Although an established trade far before recorded history, it wasn’t until half a century ago when Limsa Lominsan admiral and self-proclaimed gourmand, Guolskyf Bhaldwaensyn, known by the masses as “Mastcleaver,” put forth a thalassocratic decree proclaiming the culinary arts a guildworthy craft. Henceforth, it has been recognized across Eorzea as a legitimate member of the Tradescraft Society—its recipe compendiums now grace the shelves of every librarium in the realm.
Culinarian Actions
Actions are skills that the Culinarian can equip to their bar and select to use at any time as long as their timer is available. Actions used in a combo will generate additional damage and effects. All Culinarian actions are exclusive to that job.As some of the better DoH actions are not exclusive to any specific class it is worth levelling up other DoH classes so that you can get better actions.
